Our Verdict
Ninja Foodi DZ401
Ninja DualZone Pro DZ950
The Ninja DualZone Pro DZ950 and Ninja Foodi DZ401 are both 10-quart dual-basket air fryers, but the DZ950 is the more reliable choice for frying quality. It produces far more consistently crispy food, with much less coming out overcooked or undercooked. The DZ950's built-in probe also lets you cook proteins to a specific doneness automatically, which you can't do with the DZ401. The DZ401, however, offers a bit more surface area in each basket.
